Frédéric Perrenot (1536–1600), lord of Champagney, baron of Renaix, was a soldier and diplomat in Habsburg service.
[2] In 1559 he accompanied Philip II to Spain, then returned to the Low Countries, where he was aligned with his oldest brother, Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle.
Returning to Antwerp in the summer of 1576, he several times wrote to the Council of State warning of the mounting dangers of the situation there.
He was a supporter of the Pacification of Ghent, agreed later the same month, but while criticising royal policy he remained loyal to the king.
[2] He became a vocal critic of Alexander Farnese, who on 14 October 1592 ordered him to leave Brussels and return to his native Burgundy.
